    Why did Chuck Giamba Retire (the Hopkins-Joe Judge)

    Chuck Giamba gave Joe Calzaghe 9 rounds in his fight against Benard,Why did he retire after the fight?

    Obviously retiring was a good decision but that came 2 weeks to late but still what prompted him to retire?

    He realized he no longer had it upstairs when him and Harold Lederman had the same scorecard.

      the only judge who should have retired was the one with glasses who gave it to hopkins

        Chuck retired because he is an old man. Hopkins should take his advice.

          Honestly I dont know but he has been around for years and he is well in his golden years, how many big events do you think the mans ticker can still handle? I mean there is nothing like being seated ring side for a big fight, hell I get the jitters, I am sure he does still, not saying thats the only reason perhaps he got sick of scoring boring ass fights from todays so called best.

            When Byrd gave that fight to Hopkins, he knew Vegas boxing was well past corrupt and couldn't bring himself to be a part of it anymore. Byrd should have been fired for that scorecard....

              you know what I like, people decrying the Hopkins scoring flaming everyone who scored it by 3 rounds or more to Joe and promptly scoring it by 1 ****ing round to Hopkins.

              LOL.

                160 clinches.

                That's all that needs to be said.

                  It was a boring fight.

                  Surprise surprise.

                  That's how you reduce punch output with your mad skillz.

                  He got outworked in the 160 clinches which is why he lost clearly.
